"Thunderbolts" takes a unique approach by bringing together a group of second-string superheroes, including Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, who form a less conventional fighting force. The filmâs plot revolves around Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, newly appointed head of the CIA, who attempts to rebrand this group as the Avengers to regain her standing. While lacking in traditional superpowers, the teamâs dynamic offers an interesting reversal of the iconic Avengers. The film raises questions around identity and legitimacy, especially highlighted by a post-credits reveal involving legal challenges over the Avengers' name.
The group of second-string heroes we've been following through the movie has gelled into a moderately disciplined fighting force, signaling a shift in the MCU's focus on lesser-known characters.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, now the head of the CIA, announces that she's reformed the Avengers, bringing together former mercenaries and contract killers to salvage her career.
